The New York Journal Of Com
nlerce, in answering a correspondent
as to the correct spelling of the word
cigar, says: "The word is cigar. 1t
is from che Spanish cigGrrO, which
was originally the name of particu-
lar kind of tobacco grown in Cuba.
Segar is spelled as cigar is pro-
nounced; it began in slang, as coal is
now often spelled koal, and was con-
tinued, first upon signs to attract at
tention and finally as the phonetic
method of spelling words according
to sound. Segar has been so much
sanctioned by occasional usage that
it can hardly be called incorrect, but
there is no other authority for it."

Is the Red scale Going?

During the past four years the orange
growers of the San Gabriel and Santa Ana
valleys have seen their trees gradually
succumbing to the attack of the red scale,
probably the most pernicious pest that
ever attacked citrus trees in this or any
other country. Some magnificent orchards
were almost totally ruined, and thousands
of trees were dug up and the ground
planted with vines or deciduous trees.
But within a few months the hold of the
red scale seems to have been weakening.
In nearly all infected districts a strong
fight has been made against the pest with
alkali and kerosene washes and but little
Roadway has been made against the scourge.
The following report from the Orange
Tribune indicates that the red scale is
packing its trunk and departing, but
whittier?
The evidence is increasing, and it is fast
becoming the general idea among fruit
growers that the red scale-bug is fast dis
appearing. One orange raiser told us the
other day that in company with neigh
Dor he had made close examination of
several orchards which have been badly
infested, and but very few live scale-bugs
can be found. Another gentleman, who
has large lime orchard, tells us that
there are very few healthy bugs to be
found and he says that the trees which he
sprayed are in no better condition than
those he did not wash The red scale day
seems to be over, and it is confidently
hoped that it will die out entirelv.-Ru-
raj Californian.

THE PRISON SCARE.

The absurd stories put afoat by sensa-
tional journals about the cruelty and in
humanity at the Folsom Prison are, as we
yesterday forecast they would be, already
completely exploded. Even the vandal
Examiner, which made itself the medium
for the sensational stories, feels compelled
to take the backtrack, and admit that the
bottom has fallen out of its sensation. 1t
bespeaks for Warden McComb a verdict of
acquittal of inhumanity and wrong doing.
Which suggests the thought that self-re-
specting journalism would have inquired
into the facts frst On the contrary, the
habit of the sensational journalist is TO
publish whatever comes to his mill. re-
gardless of the injury it may do, and to
trust to luck " for the afterclap. The
baseness of such course is self-evident. 1t
proceeds upon wholly false and distorted
idea of the province of newspaper, which
ought to be Il conseryator of truth, to
judge with judicial impartiality, and to
avoid one-sided and hastily reached con-
illusions. The true newspaper despises in
justice and breads to do wrong to any
human being, while it does not fear to ex-
pose rascality, and to hold viciousness,
crime and immortality to accountability, no
matter whom it concerns.
The prison system of California is by no
means all it should be, nor will it attain
the highest plane of excellence until the
results Of all experience in pathological
science Is awaited of, ard reformation made
chief end of punishment For instance,
the parole system, which the last Legisla-
ture rejected, IS Il step in advance that
must be taken in time. So, too the COM
plete separation Of the neophytes in crime
from the hardened offenders must be ac-
complished before a right system is estab-
lished. But so far as the law and the COR
ditions now permit, the conduct of the
prison at Folsom approaches the best
Standards and is, the REcoRD-UNroN is sat

problem. With the wonderful declination
in the use of distilled liquors, and the
marvellous increase in the consumption of
vinous and malt liquors, the first sugges-
ton to the mind is that drunkenness must
have decreased. There are no reliable
statistics by which the actual truth can be
ascertained. Ii is, indeed, next 10 irnpos-
sible to ascertain the facts From obserya-
ton in our large towns and cities one
would be led to believe that drunkenness
is steadily increasing. and has been for
years, but in the face Of the statistics
furnished by the Federal Government the
consumption of distilled liquors has so
greatly declined that there is strong proof
inferentially, that there is less drunken
ness unless to the increased consumption
of vinous and malt liquors most intemper-
ance can be charged. Here is a field in
which the statisticians may engage their
best energies. Until it is possible to
secure reliable data, it cannot be deter
mined automatically whether beer and
wine drinking has made the people more
or less temperate than they were half a
century ago. The fact ought to be known
with reasonable certainty; it is Il factor
in the social problemupon which we ought
to have trustworthy information. How it
is to be ascertained, and what is to be the
base OF operations in ascertaining ii, the
statisticians must determine
